Petitioner,

ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Board No. A71 558 062
--------------------
Before DAVIS, SMITH, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jose Luis Paniagua-Navarette petitions this court for review
of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (Board) August 26, 2004,
decision denying his motion for reconsideration of the Board’s
June 10, 2004, affirmance of the Immigration Judge’s (IJ) denial
of his request for cancellation of removal.
Paniagua-Navarette’s brief is devoted to challenging the
IJ’s decision that Paniagua-Navarette was not entitled to
cancellation of removal. He fails to present any argument with

regard to the Board’s denial of his motion to reconsider – the
order that is the subject of the petition for review. Thus,
Paniagua-Navarette has abandoned his challenge to the Board’s
August 26, 2004, decision denying his motion to reconsider by
failing to brief it. See Al-Ra’id v. Ingle, 69 F.3d 28, 33 (5th
Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we DENY his petition for review.
